Fort Sidney Fliers - NE 19 — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Lorenzo, NE, decoded from KSTK, 27 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KSNY has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes a grass flying surface. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. 2 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
